aeiou.com Frequently Asked Questions
August 4, 2008 by admin · 6 Comments
So after 2 days in business we’ve been inundated with questions and I thought it best to answer them right here on this blog. At least the most frequently asked ones…
If this is the first thing you are reading on aeiou.com, read the post I put in before this one for a general intro.
Question: How do I make money with my new site?
Answer: We place your ad codes on your websites and you collect 100% of the revenue instead of sharing with other companies! We recommend Google AdSense, it’s what we use on our sites. However if you would like to run any other ads, our team would be happy to assist you in having those placed.
Question: Do you have examples of revenue generated on some of the developed sites? What type of increases are you seeing?
Answer: We developed the system to run at a conservative 1 year ROI. Keep in mind that you are not just developing for increased revenue, but you are also investing in the overall value of your domain name. Earnings vary due to different topic earnings and available search traffic for a certain topic.
We have many clients that are doing well ahead of 1 year ROI, however we keep our conservative goal at 1 year.
Question: Do you accept any site into your rapid site development process?
Answer: No, we do have a small review process to make sure that your domain name will pair well with our service. We believe in that golden rule of treating other the way you wish to be treated. If we would not develop a domain name, we would not recommend that you do either!
Question: How long does it take for aeiou.com to complete a Rapid Site Development?
Answer: Depending on order flow we try to keep everyone on a 4-5 day turn around time. That means 4-5 days after your order is placed and paid for we will hand you over the keys to your brand new mini site.
Question: If the site goes to sale, what happens?
You own the site in all of it’s entirety. If you wish to sell the domain name, you can sell the website with it adding value to your name. This is one of the fundamental reasons we started doing this on every domain we have. You will maintain all brokering roles including setting up escrow etc. If you sell the name, our team would be glad to help you transfer the domain to the new owner.
Question: Do you have a contractual agreement for your service?
Answer: We do not have any contractual agreements in place. Once we finish our development process you own all rights to the content, design, and marketing efforts. You can do as you wish with them.
Pricing Questions
Question: How much is a Rapid Site Development mini site?
Answer: We charge a 1 time fee of $250 to develop and market your domain. Once our service is complete, you own 100% of the website. This includes all content, design elements, and the ongoing results of our marketing campaign.
Question: Do you offer bulk discounts?
Answer: Yes we do have a bit of wiggle room for volume buyers. Please note that we already have these aggressively priced from the start in order to maximize your ROI. If you are interested in a bulk deal please contact us and we will work something out.
Question: Do you accept PayPal for payment?
Answer: Yes, Paypal is actually our preferred payment provider.
Development Questions
Question: Which domains work best for you service?
Answer: Throughout building these sites we have found that generic keyword combinations produce the highest results. We do not recommend abreviations and acronyms.
Question: Do you offer domain development other than mini sites?
Answer: Yes, we do offer services for your development needs beyond the rapid mini site. Custom projects will be treated as such and we can discuss your goals and expectations and formulate a business plan that will help you get to those goals. We always recommend starting any big development with a mini site as it allows your domain to “saturate” into the search engines and also creates a traffic base that is very helpful in the launch of a new site. If you are interested in these services let me know and we will take it from there.
Question: How often is the content updated?
Answer: Once we complete our development and marketing process there are no on-going updates. If there are small changes that need to be made to the finished product in order to maintain relevancy and such we handle those free of charge.
Question: Do I have any input on site content or categories?
Answer: Of course! If you have a certain direction you wish to head with your domain we can definitely talk about that and work it into the build. We do research on your topic in order to make sure we maximize your opportunity to gain as much traffic as possible while maintaining a site that is useful for the surfers. We also analyze and base our content around which areas of your subject will yield the optimal earnings per click.
Question: Does every aeiou.com developed web site have the For Sale option on it?
Answer: This is an option that we offer to our clients, it is totally optional. If you are a reseller I recommend placing this link as it does not effect anything and you have a lead generator for the sales process outside of any other companies commissions.
Question: Is email address capture on the web site a possible future option?
Answer: Yes, this will actually come standard on all developments. We are constantly adding features to our developments and we gladly take requests.
Marketing Questions
Question: What is involved in your marketing process?
Answer: The marketing portion of our development process is really the driving force behind why Rapid Site Development works. Not only do we build a custom site focused on your target keywords, but we also go out and set the foundation for a lifetime of additional traffic for your site.
Question: Do you use spammy or questionable methods when marketing?
Answer: Absolutely not. We do not believe in shady, black hat, what ever you may want to call it, tactics. Our team believes in quality traffic, and that is what we strive for.
Question: What is your long-term SEO plan for the finished w/site?
Answer: Our Rapid Site Development process does not include any long term SEO management. We have however designed our marketing campaign to last. We do not use any spammy technique or short term methods to just get your site listed. All of our methods are natural, targeted and meant to continue to benefit the site over its lifetime.
Hosting Questions
Question: Will I need my own server for hosting?
Answer: Nope, we will host your site for free for you in exchange for a free link back to aeiou.com on your site. If you would like to host your own sites, that is not a problem either. Really it is whichever is easiest for you!
Question: How long is the hosting agreement for?
Answer: If you choose to host with us, we will host the site for life in its current state. If you wish to add more features and require additional resources, we can work out a monthly fee to cover this. We have many servers so we are able to keep the prices low on this.
aeiou.com is now live. Mini-sites done the right way, here’s why…
August 1, 2008 by Rick Latona · 22 Comments
We’ve been building, SEO optimizing and marketing our domains as mini-sites for a couple of years now. I hate parking and most of you know this.
When we build a site we put custom written content on it and then do link building on the domain so that Google and the other major search engines will feel it is relevant. The end-result is that the names get listed in the search engines and have rankings that continue to improve.
What we’ve put together is a simple formula and an asembly line process that can quickly and cheaply allow us to take any domain, slap a simple design on it, 5 pages of custom text, and a day of intense link building all at an affordable price.
Because we use separate experts for each task and pump out hundreds of sites per week we are able to offer this service to you, the domainer, for $250 or less per name. It’s totally worth it. The names not only make more money but are worth more money.
To hell with parking. Check out my new www.aeiou.com, fill out the form to request information and we’ll tell you more.
